Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

Rytek, run us through how far you've got. Where have you created the Dolphin directory? Have you put the trn file in there?

You're not running Vista by the way are you? That seems to increase the confusion of this process by a lot.

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

Did you download the turn file that you got in your email 2 days ago to the Dolphin directory? Which step in the directions did you get to exactly?

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

Um, you need to place the attachment (early_agartha.trn in your case) from the email you got from llama's turn bot (it's in the email address you used to send your pretender with - the email address llama's bot uses is different from the one you sent the Pretender to, though) into the Dolphin folder (\dominions3\savedgames\Dolphin as it may be in your case) you created as per the given instructions, so you can play your turn in Dominions 3.

The .2h file is only created after you have played your turn, and that is what you need to send to him in return.

And obviously, please respond to the questions of the earlier fellers.

ok looks like i have the dolphin file in. now its saying i dont have worthy hero's. I have extracted the files twice into my mod folder.

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

Hey, there is a good support team here eh?

You just need to make sure you have the file heroes1_7.dm (contained in the zip I posted) in the file "dominions3/mods" (not "mod", incidentally, this is a mistake that has come up before).

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

You mean the files that are in the first post of this thread? Or like coobe, did you get your Worthy Heroes from some other source, since the Worthy Heroes version we are using is 1.7, not 1.6 or 1.7b?

http://www.shrapnelcommunity.com/thr...?Number=537578 <- that is the link to the attachment with the correct Worthy Heroes we are using in this game.

Make sure it is the folder \dominions3\mods\ that you are trying to place it in. Note that you need to extract it directly in the \mods\ folder and not make another folder for it under the \mods\ folder.

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

not sure why i am having trouble installing this mod. I am clicking on the link and opening it to the correct folder. I have downloaded mods before

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

So you are extracting the compressed .zip file to the \mods\ folder properly? Hmm. That's odd.

You sure you're extracting the files in the .zip file to the \mods\ directory, and not \mods\heroes\ or something? ;p

Re: Sensori\'s \"PBEM for dummies\"
 

Well the test for whether you're doing the right thing is: go to your mods folder, and see if the heroes1_7.dm folder is in there. If not, you need to, erm, somehow use winzip differently. Fiddle around with it a bit, maybe extract the file to the desktop and then drag it into the mods folder (making sure not to just make a shortcut - which could of course be another source of problems).
